I did a quick purchase of some cigars to get a look at the establishment. I was impressed. I randomly grab two cigars and both were excellent. The patio requires a membership to utilize, but they have areas inside where you can smoke your cigar. I plan to visit again soon. The host was pleasant and very helpful. read more

Great spot for an out of town herf! Friendly staff and patrons! Great selection of products

Two stars for the awesome lady at the front. Shocking how poorly stocked it was and how the door to the electrical room was flickering and open during our visit. I am used to this place impressing guests except we left sad to see the state of things. read more

Excellent cigar lounge while I was in town for my friend's 50th birthday. The staff was friendly and helpful. I met the owner Fred who's a great guy. I enjoyed our conversation and words of wisdom! I highly recommend this establishment and I hope to be back hopefully in the near future. Cheers from San Diego, Tony read more

This is a great cigar lounge. Unforgettable experience. That was my first time smoking cigars there were just 2 of us on that floor. BYOB policy makes this place even more attractive. read more

If you are visiting Chicago, have a friend that is a member, then this place is great. If you are just a typical traveler without access to the member area, the public room is weak. read more

Very nice shop with an extensive selection of cigars and accessories. Popped in for a smoke after shopping and found myself a nice Rocky Patel for a reasonable price. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Small lounge off the shop as the rest of the mansion is a private club. Day passes are available but we didn't have the time to take advantage of this offer, hopefully next time. read more

This was a great spot to visit while I was in Chicago. The lounge was nice and the selection of cigars was solid.

Selection and knowledge of premium cigars is superb. Prices are reasonable too! Enjoy!

Excellent shop for a wide variety of cigars. I am not a smoker, however after my son was born we decided to stop in to pick up a nice box of cigars for many friends. We requested something mild, and were recommended the Avo Uvezian line. Friends loved the cigars, and so did my husband! Service and cigar options were both exceptional. Would recommend Biggs! read more

Always a pleasure! A visit to Biggs is like a visit to cigar heaven. Everyone is very friendly. Had a nice smoke with my good friend Daniel today after church. Great place for cigars in the neighborhood, with an amazing selection. Not to mention situated in a beautiful building on Division at Elm. Some of my favorites they have are My Fathers, Arturo Fuente & Ashton. Tried something new today CLE Connecticut. I'll let you know how that one is, thank you for the recommendations and see you guys real soon. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. read more

Really good spot to select and smoke a stoagie! Ive been here a few times with friends as its always a good time as you never know who you're gonna see/meet. Its bring your own bottle and when you are here chilling/smoking with other groups they are more than willing to share their spirits as long as you do the same. Very nice interior and there are multiple floors. When its warm out, you can smoke on the front lawn area which is good for people watching and being seen. High end and low end selection of cigars so get ready to light up, pour up and have a great time @ Biggs Mansion. Staff is petty damn chill as well. read more

I really enjoyed Biggs Mansion when I was home a few months ago. I met a Russian gangst... I mean lawyer that was super cool. good selection and fairly nice peoples it was also close enough to the mag mile that I could walk to Michigan Avenue. read more

Cool place but should've checked yelp first. Private club for patio seating. Non members welcome inside. Not a problem for me but wish they would have told me when checking out. Everyone was very helpful and the patio had plenty of seating. I was enjoying a nice Padron when a gentleman asked me if I was a member. Said no and he politely told me this was a members area and asked me to use the indoor area as the patio was for members. Not a huge deal but should let out of town guests know when checking out. Again not a huge deal. Just wanted to unwind the day with a nice cigar. read more

Great place! Would like to experience it more however you need to be a member, which would be sweet but not if your just in town for a visit etc. They did let us know there was a day pass as well though. Tempting, we shall see. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Give it a go! There's a small public lounge which could get cramped depending how busy it is but we had fun and enjoyed a nice cigar. read more

Great place to catch a smoke. Real chill vibe and relaxing. Was in town for a conference and looking for a casual spot to smoke a stogie and found this gem. Will definitely revisit when I'm back in Chicago read more

Just in Chicago for a trade show. Stopped in one night , we liked their wide selection of cigars.

$50 buck cigars, plus $2500 a year to have the privilege of sitting on largely empty patio equipped with rusty lawn chairs! What's not to love about the place? read more

Excelente lugar, muy limpio, muy amables, buen area de estacionamiento, me gusto mucho.

The high life. This mansion is a great place to smoke some cigars and shoot the sh** with the boys. We've only been upstairs, but it has great service, decor, and even a pool table. Couches and tables to just chill all night. I've only been twice but it's never packed or anything. If you know nothing about cigars like myself the workers will give great recommendations and educate you a bit. A decent cigar will run about $15-$20. Staying downstairs is free, but if you come here it's for the upstairs. Now for the bad part, it's $75 to get upstairs. And no matter what their website says it doesn't come with a credit for cigars anymore. They say it's not their website but it doesn't make sense, it has the same pics, address, and everything. If it's not their website why do they not fight to remove it? Either way it's expensive af, but good for a special occasion. Upstairs is also byob. If you got the cash, it's a guaranteed good time here. read more

My husband and I are visiting Chicago for the week. He's a cigar aficionado, after a quick google we decided to come to Biggs. Upon arrival we were greeted by a. Ice young lady in very smokey tight retail space outside of the a walk in humidor. At first glance, my husband thought they had a great selection of cigars. After a second look, the shelves were bare. When we asked where we could sit, we were told it's "members only" except for a very small lounge (seating for 8) area with zero ventilation. After asking twice about the patio seating. I was told it's for "members only" but if there was space they could offer us seating for a $50/person day pass. I knew my husband was looking forward to smoking so I paid the fee ($150) for the 3 of us. I was told at the register that there was a server that would stop by our table. I was told that they did not offer any libations as it's BYOB. This was not listed anywhere on their website or Google. This is certainly not what he expected. Thought I would inform others before you take the trip. read more

Love this place. I go here every time I am in town. Comfortable. Great selection. Good staff. Just a great experience. The patrons are friendly. read more

A very nice upscale cigar shop with a full humidor. They had a very good selection of sticks to chose from. The ladies working on the day that I visited were very accommodating and friendly. My only issue is that this is a members only club cigar lounge, meaning that for walk-ins like me there was a very small lounge area to smoke. The members only section was upstairs and I can only guess that it must be very nice, based on the online pictures. That area was accessible by a gate that opened for card carrying members. I guess this kind of thing works to maintain an air of exclusivity, but the vibe is not for me. I'm not likely to return. read more

Best Cigar lounge in Chicago hands down! Awsome location and great service. Great patio area.

Reasonably priced sticks especially considering the location and by far one of the coolest places in Chicago to grab a smoke. Super close to all the best bars and restaurants in the Gold Coast!! Excellent air handling too as it's impossible to smoke a stogie and not smell like it but you leave not feeling like you smell like an ashtray. Best thing about this place is the great patrons you meet!! Wether you're a regular or just passing through town, you can always expect to run into some great characters who have great stories to share. read more

These historic mansions as cigar lounges are rare. The only other one I have visited was in Montreal. A well stocked humidor and accommodating staff, Biggs offers public lounge and patio areas. You can also purchase a daily or annual membership to access the upstairs lounge. read more

Great cigar selection, beautiful decor and good location. The only reason this place gets 4 stars instead of 5 is the ridiculous price to smoke a cigar in their upstairs lounge. Biggs has 2 floors; the 1st floor is a small space that's free for all visitors and has 2 tvs. Personally i like to smoke with friends, but if you bring a group of more than 2 ppl, the setup makes it tough to accommodate everyone (not many chairs; also if you sit in the front area by the door you'll get cold during the winter months.) There's also no booze allowed on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor is ginormous but meant for members. If you're not a member you can go up there if you pay $50...and that's up from $30 last year. Upstairs it's BYOB and they have what i deem to be the ultimate mancave. So while the setup is solid, the fee is unreasonable and cost prohibitive. If it included a cigar I'd be open to it...but it just allows you to sit down. By the way - I've heard the membership is around $2k a year. I love cigars but not that much!! Biggs i want to give you 5 stars but i can't do it. To be sure if i only smoked alone, I'd give it 5 stars because you can find 1 empty leather chair to indulge (or they will toss you a fold up chair.) But if you're rolling with a group of 3 or more...you might have to drop the cash or stand around most of the night. read more

I travel to Chicago for work quite a bit and I am always looking for ways to wind down in the city. I love fine cigars and I always have a hard time finding a good cigar lounge to hang out at. Mainly because they are either impossible to find or they are run down and not the type of place you want to stay for a couple hours. When I walked by Biggs Cigar Emporium, I was floored. First, I am pretty sure its the building from Ferris Bueller's Day Off where he had lunch as the "sausage king of Chicago" which was why I first did a double take. Then, once I entered I knew I was home. Their layout is superb. The entire bottom floor is a cigar lovers dream. Fine and rare cigars, large open humidors, every accessory you can imagine, just very well put together. I was impressed at the number of rare cigars they had in stock. God of Fire, Opus X, Avo and Davidoff Anniversary Editions. Not many places have such a selection if one wanted to spoil themselves. I ended up choosing a cigar they get privately supplied and it was very enjoyable. My friend and I sat downstairs in their lounge which provided a great atmosphere and the ideal hang out while smoking. The outside area is also great but it was a beautiful night in Chicago so it was packed. Usage of the entire facility is reserved for its members. I got a chance to peak around and it looked very cool. Upper levels, a private courtyard and a private locker room are just some of the perks of being a member. They have rates for out of town and local guests and a membership there is about the same as going to a gym so very reasonable. I am looking forward to hanging out at Biggs next time I am in town. Great atmosphere, great people and a much needed cigar selection. Well Done!! read more

Tomorrow is my birthday. Was looking to purchase a Drew Estate Java for my birthday tomorrow to have on the steps by the river. Walked 300feet from my apartment to this BREATHTAKING Mansion I'm blessed to walk past daily. Ulysses was super kind and sweet. I can't wait to come back and sit in the back. The patio is huge and beautiful... kinda sucks the patio is members only esp with fall coming and how beautiful my street is in fall. I read people saying the cigars are over priced and I paid maybe $4.00 more a stick than I typically would but it's nice to support local ESP now with Covid and our beautiful neighbor getting looted. Thx again guys. Can't wait to come back. read more
